Comedians born in The Hague

Home to the Dutch government, parliament and royal offices, The Hague (Den Haag) is the political heart of the Netherlands and seat of the International Court of Justice at the Peace Palace. Stretching to the North Sea coast, it blends stately institutions, elegant squares and beach districts.

Its international, cosmopolitan population supports a rich cultural life, and its theatres and venues form part of the country's flourishing cabaret and stand-up scene, the hometown of comedian Marcel van der Heijden.
